Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issues Installing From Source

[Peter Witkowski]

As a sanity check, I just went through and followed the build instructions for UHD found here: http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_build_guide.html

After the make install, I ran a find for uhd_find_devices and nothing came up.

Peter,

PyBOMBS will most likely work, although it defaults to installing everything in your home dir (which is recommended for development, but different from build-gnuradio). apt-get install gnuradio will get you a fairly recent GNU Radio, but the UHD version in there is quite old.

I can't say why your build is failing, though. Can you search for uhd_find_devices, and if so, where is it?

Hello,

In the past, I've always used the build-gnuradio script to install
everything with great success.  This ensures that I have all the latest
versions of both GNU Radio and UHD.

However, I recently got a new machine and installed Ubuntu 14.04 on it
(I haven't had any issues with 14.04 before).  I updated the OS to the
latest version and then tried using build-gnuradio.  Immediately I
started having issues.  First, the script was unable to install git,
cmake, and other dependencies.  However, I was manually able to do a
"sudo apt-get" on all of these packages and at least get to the point
where the script tries to install UHD.

Now I've run into a strange issue where "make install" for UHD appears
to put all the .hpp files in the right place, but the script fails
because it can't find the uhd_find_devices command.  I've tried to
manually make install UHD with the same effects.  It tells me that all
the .hpp files are in the correct directory, but I still cannot locate
the uhd_find_devices command.  Note that running build-gnuradio with the
verbose flag set didn't throw any errors that I can see.

Has anyone experienced similar issues?  Does the simple "sudo apt-get
install gnuradio" command install the latest versions of UHD and GNU
Radio?  I am also leaning towards trying a PyBOMBS based install.  That
said, I don't think I'm doing anything differently this time around and
I've always had good luck with using build-gnuradio.

Thanks in advance for the help.
